5 Interesting Facts on Colour that will Help You in Your Day to Day Life

Colour affects our depth perception

When choosing the colours for a room you should consider this. Bright, cool colours generally make a room feel bigger, and dark warm colours generally make a room feel smaller and more intimate.

Wearing bright colours could be the one thing between you and that job you wanted!

Wearing bright colours, you will stand out more than in greyed-off colours. Bright colours can improve your mood but also the moods of others around you which could affect the outcome of that important meeting. Or make an impact so a client remembers you when deciding who they choose to work with.

Pink is the colour used for anger management

When feeling angry it has been said that visualising the colour pink can reduce the anger you are feeling. The colour pink promotes calmness and peace.

Red and yellow promote hunger

Red, makes you feel warm, comforted, and loved, which is what some would describe as the way a good meal should make us feel. Yellow, as well as being the ‘happy’ colour, has been found to encourage hunger when used with red. Your brain releases more serotonin, a feel-good hormone, when you see the colour. Notice how many restaurants use yellow in their logos to make you want to stop and eat.
